WE DO THE MASHED POTATO AND THE FUNKY CHICKEN

Thanksgiving Special: Savor Some Beef Rapp!

Posted 17 days ago

As Thanksgiving draws closer, many music fans are forced to take a break from compiling their Best of 2009 lists to start planning for turkeys and family get-togethers. That's good news for any listeners who may be plagued by indecision, as they nervously chew off that last bit of pumpkin bread, and continue to contemplate their number one favorite album (Grizzly Bear or Animal Collective? Animal Collective or Grizzly Bear?). Next thing you know they've forgotten all about their number 1 favorite album, trading a healthy diet of mp3's for a bucket of Popeye's fried chicken. Luckily, Thanksgiving is now just weeks away, and musicians love their food like a fat kid loves cake. So loosen your belt and prepare to indulge yourself in a musical menu dripping in high cholesterol.

Appetizers:
Rufus Wainwright - "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk"

"If I should buy jellybeans, have to eat them all in just one sitting. Everything it seems I like's a little bit sweeter, a little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me."
Rufus kicks off the eating marathon with admitting that none of this is good for him and he's hedonistically devouring all he can.



Main Course:
MF Doom - "Beef Rapp"

Before you taste what DOOM's been cookin', you may want to heed his advice: "I suggest ya change ya diet. It can lead to high blood pressure if ya fry it."


Fat Boys - "All You Can Eat"

"Give me some chicken, franks, and fries. And you can pass me a lettuce. I'm a pass it by. So keep shoveling, onto my plate. Give me some sweets and lots of cake."



Dessert:
Cibo Matto - "Sugar Water"
Because you've got to be full by now and these two are sweet enough.



Alcohol:
Paradiso Girls ft. Eve and Lil Jon
- "Patron Tequila"

"I'm on Patron tequila, I'm drunk on margarita. That Patron tequila, me and my mamacita." You, your mamacita, your goth underage cousin, grandpaps and g-ma, are all drinking their way through the festivities. The best part is all the leftover food you'll eat the next day when you're done being hungover.

Condiments/sides/late-night fixes:
E-40 - "Mustard and Mayonaise" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgU_c8UbHxU
Devin the Dude - "Broccoli and Cheese" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71BG_69-Muo
Das Racist - "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (Wallpaper Remix)" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUe8enz27sg

    "I'm Hungry" (Sugarcubes) and "I Need Lunch" (Dead Boys) so I figure it's time to "Sing for Your Supper" (Mamas & Papas) to get some cash and head over to "Alice's Restaurant" (Arlo Guthrie) where there's a band playing and maybe i can get some "Quiche Lorraine" (B-52's) with a side of "Spam" (Monty Python) and a "Savoy Truffle" (Beatles).

    While I "Eat to the Beat" (Blondie), the band starts messing up because "The Piano Has Been Drinking" (Tom Waites).  i realize I've spent too much time in "Margaritaville" (Jimmy Buffet) and this joke has gotten old, so i'd be better off with some "Black Coffee in Bed" (Squeeze) and I head home.

    an RC Cola and a Moon Pie would probably make you feel much better Robin (NRBQ), and Brittany, "just to see you Eat in the Middle of the Night".......(The Cure)

    Nice list! Thanksgiving theme, eh? How about Jeff Tweedy and Golden Smog's "Pecan Pie" for dessert, as well.
